Corvette Buildsheet Book BOKCORVBUILDSHEET The Corvette Buildsheet Book is for the third generation Corvette (C3) owner, collector, hobbyist or prospective buyer who wishes to understand Corvette assembly production broadcast codes, how those codes were used to tag parts and how the buildsheet documented original buyer options.

Hib Halverson, technical writer for Corvette magazines, wrote a review of the Corvette Buildsheet Book and posted it at the Corvette Action Center.  He included both barbs and humor in the review and its worth a read.

Hib Halverson said:  In reading the book I found a few quirks, such as Mr. Russo's use of the vernacular term "motor" when discussing engines.

LOL
Wull....technically, he's correct...if ya wanna nit-pick. "Motor" is used to describe electrical motors, while the term "Engine" is used to describe the internal combustion engine(or rocket fueled power supplies). Geek

"Deep Geek"???? LOL
It's a nice review, anyway! Thumbs Up
